A spectrophotometric study of the eclipsing nova-like variable V1315 Aquilae

We present photometry and spectroscopy of the nova-like variable V1315 Aquilae. The V-band light curves exhibit deep, symmetrical eclipses which recur with a period of 3.35 hr. The spectra have narrow single-peaked Balmer and HeI emission lines which, due to absorption of low-velocity emission, exhibit a double-peaked structure near the inferior conjunction of the emission line source. The lack of a primary eclipse in the Balmer and HeI lines suggests a non-disc origin for the low-excitation lines
